Lovers of beachside holidays would like to believe that the worst thing that can happen is bad sunburn, but, unfortunately, the wonders of the ocean can't all be accounted for. 

Beachgoers at Navigio Beach on the Greek island of Zakynthos were shocked to find their time near the shore interrupted by a landslide

Reporting on the cause of the landslide, AP News said: "A large rock initially fell from a cliff into the sea at Navagio Beach, or Shipwreck Beach, on the northwestern coast of the island, creating a large wave that capsized small boats".
